older adults with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) frequently undergo rehabilitation to address limited knee flexion range-of-motion, quadriceps weakness and gait speed limitations. This study aimed to develop age- and sex-specific recovery curves of knee flexion range-of-motion, quadriceps strength and fast gait speed post-TKA.
